"I can certainly envisage this book being used widely. Indeed, an excellent and most timely book, clearly written, and sensitively related to nano; above all, it really 'speaks' to the realities of nanotoxicity. An additional bonus.....an important one at that.... Is .the list of references cited at the end of every contribution that must make the acquisition of the volume urgent and imperative."
